@cogspace 4 года назад

Not quite. It's an I²C IR transceiver. An IR LED by itself tied to a GPIO pin (with an appropriate resistor) could work, but it would require custom firmware changes which aren't really practical when you're running Android, plus a ton of work to integrate OS support. It makes no sense to do it that way. Every phone with an IR blaster communicates with it using the I²C bus. This is also how they talk to their battery chargers, magnetometers, gyros, accelerometers, digitizers, etc. This does add some cost and complexity, even if not much, but it's worth it for markets where IR support is a feature people care about (which I guess includes China for some reason).

TCL have been around in the smartphone game for years, for the price these aren't bad, they also aren't ground breaking either, the camera was impressive on both of them, the TCL 10L was the definite winner of the two based purely on that price. Personally I'd probably look at other brands, but it's good to have choice :)

IMHO, these TCL phones are very middle of the road. Samsung, Motorola, Xiaomi, Realme and Huawei all offer similar or better phones between $200 and $300.

As a working photographer, no one buying this phone (photographers included) should ever use the high pixel mode. You'll never need an image greater than 20mp as a general consumer and the optics and signal/noise ratio won't be able to support higher anyways. You'll just be using more data for no actual benefit.

It depends on what you do with your phone but i agree that most people change their phones too often and also buy a more expensive option for no reason. I still got an asus zenfone 3 that i got 3/4 years ago (cant remember exactly) and it s still perfect, the only way i will change it is if it breaks or if someone makes a 250 euro or less phone with a 120 hz display because that s one feature that i care about and i don t need useless gimmicks or complex cameras (my phone camera outside glass has been broken for 2 years and didn t care enough to repair it)

You need to pay a little more attention to history @ShortCircuit, TCL has been making phones and other mobile devices at least since 2004, when they started jointly making Alcatel-branded mobile devices, and then year later just outright licensed the brand for mobile devices from Alcatel-Lucent (and they still hold the license long after Alcatel has been sold, current license is going to expire in 2024). They've been also doing BlackBerrys since 2016, first as contract manufacturer and then by aquiring the sole license to build, design, manufacture and sell BlackBerry-branded phones. That's a little bit more than "couple years".

I upgraded my phone last year from a Galaxy S8 to an S10+. While I really like the phone, I really really miss the rear fingerprint sensor. I remember watching Linus complain about rear fingerprint sensors because he would have to pick up his phone to activate it. But I just found it so convenient because whenever I picked up my phone, my finger would naturally find the sensor and turn the phone on before I even got it on front of my face. With the S10+, I pick it up, press the power button, then I have to find the under-screen sensor with my thumb to turn it on. Granted, in the larger scheme of things having to touch 2 buttons instead of one isn't that big a deal. But the rear sensor was just effortless. If they brought the rear sensor back for the S 21, I'd probably upgrade, even though I'd be losing the headphone jack. I actually really appreciate having an FM tuner in my phone. But aside from the one time I tried it out to see if it works, I've never used it. I just don't listen to the radio much anymore. So losing the headphone jack wouldn't affect me very much.

Honestly i have always been a Samsung user my past 3 phones were samsung. last year i switched from a galaxy note 5 to the galaxy A51 (one of Samsung's midrange offerings) and I was disappointed. the sheer amount of bugs that exist even to this day is unbelievable. i never experienced such thing with my note 5 even though i got it a week after launch and even with my prior Samsung phones, the A51 is less than what i expected from Samsung. not to mention the stupid "Quad camera" that they seem to be really proud off is on part if not worse than the note 5's camera from 2015. This experience really made me open to try out different phone makers. i think TLC has great potential in the market. maybe one day they'll become a recognizable phone maker
